Hello Docebians!
I have been doing some testing using session waitlist and want to confirm my findings too make sure I am not missing anything.
USE CASE: Enrollment deadline imposed at session level. We still want users to be able to enroll but be waitlisted so the admin can move them and have that visibility to late enrollees to be able to send out comms/materials.
FINDINGS: Imposing a deadline removes the session from user visibility on that date regardless if there is capacity. This means that the waitlist function is based purely on seating capacity and doesn’t allow for a secondary utilization based on enrollment deadlines.
SOLUTION: It seems that the only way to have a waitlist enabled based on an enrollment deadline is to manually set the session capacity to match current enrollment count on the day of the enrollment deadline.
This is less than desirable because of 1) the manual monitoring 2) session change notifications are not functioning correctly and would send unless manipulated before and after changing session capacity.
Has anyone else come up with a solve for waitlisting based on enrollment cutoff that doesn’t involve emailing admins to be enrolled in a session and allows for this all to be managed within the platform?
